Senior Aerodynamics Engineer
We are seeking a Senior Aerodynamics Engineer to join our growing team. The ideal candidate possesses a deep understanding of aerodynamic principles and excels in leading the design and analysis of aircraft across various flight regimes. Your expertise will directly influence the performance and efficiency of our advanced aircraft.
In this role, you will spearhead the design process from initial concept through to flight, ensuring that the aircraft meets rigorous performance and quality standards. You will lead aircraft configuration development through the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), advanced optimization techniques that you developed, and collaboration with cross-functional teams to refine concepts and conduct trade studies. Your leadership will be pivotal in mentoring a highly skilled flight sciences team and driving innovation in vehicle performance. Duties:
*Lead the design and analysis of aircraft aerodynamics across subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flight regimes
*Conduct computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis using multiple solvers, including gridding and post-processing methods
*Develop and apply advanced optimization techniques to enhance aerodynamic performance
*Create and utilize parametric geometry models for design and analysis purposes
*Support the design, fabrication, testing, and data analysis of wind tunnel models
*Work closely with cross-functional teams to refine concepts, conduct trade studies, and develop multidisciplinary design, analysis, and optimization (MDAO) systems
*Lead concept refinement, cross-discipline trade studies, and develop a highly skilled flight sciences team Requirements:
*Minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
*10+ years of experience in aerodynamic design and analysis, CFD analysis, and optimization techniques
*Proficiency in CFD solvers, parametric geometry modeling, and wind tunnel testing
*Experience with high-fidelity aerodynamic shape optimization using adjoint-based methods and heuristic methods
*Experience synthesizing a variety of computational, experimental, and multi-fidelity data sources into cohesive aerodynamics models for design, performance, stability and control, flight simulator development, and experimental flight testing
*Expertise in architecting multidisciplinary design, analysis, and optimization (MDAO) frameworks for configurations, integrating various solvers and models
*Proficiency with high performance computing (HPC) environments, mesh adaptation, adjoint-based optimization; implementation of HPC via AWS, Azure, Google HPC
*Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and manage complex projects
*Willingness to travel to test sites $150,000 - $250,000 a year
Compensation details:
150000-250000 Yearly Salary
